The Child’s Cat Paw

CBS Radio Mystery Theater "The Child’s Cat Paw" is a Mystery from Tuesday, May 17, 1977.

Ten-year-old Dinah has moved to an isolated farm with her parents and her ailing Uncle Willie. Her father wants to write a novel, her mother wants to paint. When cold weather sets in, they pay little attention to Dinah, whose cat Fammy, named after a familiar, the alter ego of a witch, becomes her closest friend. She has long conversations with Fammy, who suddenly starts talking back. Dinah’s mother overhears them, but not distinctly enough to know what they are conjuring up for Uncle Willie.
